Whats up Willie,
its PROBABLY a Olcut , Union Cut. Co.,Vikeing or kabar (which is all the same) also could be a western states but probably isnt. The pull should be farther down the blade.

Brett, those are great. The last group especially blows me away. Is that some sort of auto on the right? I wish you had time to show a few by themselves. Open. And stuff...

I posted the three Robeson Coke Bottles or Fiddle Backs, as that was what I thought Rig Welder was requesting.

As other patterns have been added, I'll further dilute the concentration of the soup. ::nod::

They are all outstanding knives, but that stag handle one has to be rare.

You just don`t see too many old Robeson`s with Stag :)

Thanks, MB.

I don't know if you mean the gnarly pebbled English stag or the other.

There was, however, a very nice stag handled version of the 872 on Ebay last week. Starting bid was $90.00. The knife looked about mint. Full blade w etch. One handle was somewhat plain, the other quite nice.

It did not get a single bid. Sign of the times, I guess.

This is the only one I have left. Don't know if it really qualifies as a folding hunter. I am only calling it that based on it's size and the shot shell pullers. Twelve inches long open with C.16 and C.12 pullers. Italian I think based on the stamp - AQUILA. Horn handles.

I only have a couple. The one on the right is a Kabar 1184. The knife below that is a Schrade U.S.A. 250T. The Schrade was missing a handle on the opposite side when I bought it, so I made one out of corian. It turned out not bad but I think it looks better with the traditional Schrade colored handle. The corian I used is lighter in color, but was all I had on hand at the time. Both go with me in my elk pack. ::tu:: Dale
